This was not played constantly where I grew up, and i didn't see it until I was in my 20's.

By that time it had no sentimental value to me, which can be all in things like these.

I found it cornball and about as depressingly unlikely as possible, a lot like a Cosby show episode where everyone is so extravagantly good-hearted that it's almost impossible to identify with anyone or their problems, and you know that those problems will be miraculously solved inside 22 minutes anyway.

To me, it was incredibly cloying. I didn't feel cynical watching it; I felt it was a cynical movie itself. But perhaps some people actually believe crap like that, or want to. The same people who think Andy Hardy movies were somewhat representative of any fraction of the human race, I suppose.

This is easily one of my least like movies ever.
